The American Zhu Kezhen Education Foundation 2001 Fundraising Letter
Dear Fellow Zhejiang University Alumni:
The American Zhu Kezhen Education Foundation (AZKEF) was established in November of 1995. The Foundation is a registered nonprofit, tax-exempt public charitable organization in the United States. The Foundation is established for the purpose of promoting academic exchange and cooperation between Zhejiang University and universities in the United States in aspects of education and scientific research. The Foundation uses its funds to support selected faculty members of Zhejiang University for advanced studies and academic cooperation in the United States and invites American professors or scientists to teach or conduct cooperation research at Zhejiang University. Our thrust will be directed toward catalyzing upgrading and uplifting of the academic faculty of Zhejiang University through the exchanges, and assist Zhejiang University in its endeavor to becoming a world-class university. You can find more detail information from the home page of the Foundation:

Since 1997, the Foundation has sent nine worldwide famous professors in the United States as the Foundation lecturers to Zhejiang University to teach and conduct cooperation research there. The visiting of the lecturers was overwhelmingly welcomed by faculties and students at Zhejiang University. This indeed promoted the establishment of academic relationship between Zhejiang University and the institutions of those visiting lecturers. The foundation also awarded fellowship to five faculty members of Zhejiang University in past years for advanced study in the United States. This year, the Foundation has already selected 2002 lecturer, fill in name, and 2002 fellow, fill in name, the College of name, Zhejiang University. The foundation has contributed many scientific books and journals to Zhejiang University.
This is the 6th year of the Foundation's fundraising campaign. We sincerely thank you for past years' generous contribution. The total fund raised between 1996 and 2000 is up to $210,286.
